Removing the vRA\vCAC Guest Agent

Short intro
This blog post gives you the simple steps to quickly uninstall the vRealize Automation (aka vRA aka vCloud Automation Center aka vCAC) Agent

Longwinded Intro
Whilst studying for my VTSP Management Automation exam, I began to prepare a VM template to use for vRealize Application Services aka vRAS formerly known as vCloud Application Director aka vCAD (wow confusing!).

This involves preparing an OS for use as a vRAS template by installing the Bootstrap Agent files.

According to Abhilash HB's excellent blog article here, I made noob error no 1 - I used a template that already had the vCAC/vRA agent installed.

NB These instructions will work with vRA\vCAC 6.1, folder\service names may be different for different versions

Instructions
Here are the steps to uninstall it;

From a command prompt on the machine which has the agent installed, type;
net stop vcacguestagentservice
then
sc delete vcacguestagentservice

If you do not want to install the vRAS\vCAD agent after this, then you can use the below command to remove the folder;
rmdir c:\vrmguestagent /s /q

Thats it!
